Galli wins first Pure It tourney

Area bowlers battle the 'bear' pattern at Cedar Lanes

Last Saturday at Cedar Lanes, bowlers from all over Pennsylvania and other surrounding areas came to the local center for the "Pure It Pro Shop Series" tournament.

The tournament was the first of four tournaments that pro shop operators Jeff Smith and Jeremy Overdier will run at Cedar Lanes.

The tournament was a sellout, with 96 bowlers trying to claim the top prize of $1,500, but they had to do it on one of the most challenging oil pattern — the PBA Bear pattern. The "bear" is 40 feet of flat oil and is low scoring.

The event started out with a five-game qualifying block. Local bowers Isaac Kim was at minus-7 and Mike Houtz was plus-50 after the five-game qualifying session.

In tournament news, the Lebanon Valley USBC's eighth annual Mixed Doubles Championship Tournament will be held at the Fredericksburg Bowling Center on March 1-2, 8-9, 15-16 and 22-23. Entries close March 23 at 1:30 p.m. Applications are available at local bowling centers.
